Rather then requiring direct usage of those, it'd be far more useful to have (and instead require) functions for the entire attributes output, with corresponding filter hooks. The current `_class` functions/hooks would still run, albeit internally via these new functions. This approach is scalable to future attribute needs.

There also should be `get_` versions. Using the `get_` version in the theme (or manually applying the hook) should suffice to meet requirements. The hooks are the underlying reason for requiring these functions. Hooks would run in the `get_` versions. #23236 can ensure safe output and DRY code.",feature request,closed,normal,,Themes,,normal,maybelater,,,template
